Equipment
R-Code 427, power steering, 3.25:1 axle with limited slip, body color wheels with wheel covers, bucket seats, AM radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Restored at some point. The paint presents well from a distance but could stand to have a buff out to remove the scratches and swirls. The door gaps need minor adjustment to the latches to suck them in a tad. The rear window trim is original and exhibits aging and some pitting. Under the hood has been fully restored and the engine appears like new, and the chassis appears to have been powder coated and shows well. The interior is inconsistent, the front seat stitching is pulling apart at the seams but the rear seat appears unused. A noteworthy car, however inconsistency in finishing is a major detractor as anything more than a driver.
Market commentary
This isn’t represented as the original engine and it was specifically described as a replacement engine when it was sold at Mecum Indy in 2019 for $46,200. But even taking that into account it is an original R-code 427 Ford powered chassis and this is an unrealistically modest offer for it.
